In the early morning, feeling the power coursing through him, a pleased Peter Parker slowly went downstairs. Aunt May and Uncle Ben had already prepared breakfast on the table, waiting for him.
Seeing Peter come down, Aunt May smiled warmly. "You've been asleep since yesterday afternoon. Come and eat quickly; I made extra."
"Thank you, Aunt May. I feel like I could eat a whole cow right now," Peter said gratefully, sitting down to eat.
During breakfast, Uncle Ben casually turned on the television, which was broadcasting the morning news.
The New York City morning news had a reporter standing in front of the bank that had been robbed yesterday, giving a solemn report. "As you can see, yesterday morning's robbery officially ended with one security guard injured, six robbers dead, and one robber incapacitated."
"Another robbery in New York City yesterday?" Peter looked at the television as he ate.
"Yeah, it was a big deal; I even heard about it," Uncle Ben said.
"The reason this happened isn't thanks to the New York police, but because one of the hostages took action to subdue the robbers," the reporter on TV said. The next moment, a photo of Bai Ye was inserted, placed beside the reporter.
The moment Peter saw the handsome face in the photo, his ravenous eating paused. He stared blankly at the television, and a surprised "What the..." escaped his food-filled mouth.
"He's a good-looking young man, isn't he? Yesterday, many young girls in our workplace secretly used the color printer to print his photos," Aunt May said playfully.
"No, he... this..." Peter was at a loss for words. He felt like the entire world had changed after a single night's sleep.
He woke up, not only with a sudden surge in his strength, but also with his classmate suddenly appearing on television, having killed six armed robbers. What on earth was happening in this world?
After stammering for a long time, seeing that Aunt May and Uncle Ben knew nothing, Peter chose not to explain. He quickly devoured the food on the table, then got up and boarded the school bus.
On the way, he tried calling Bai Ye's phone number, but was told it was switched off.
Unable to get immediate confirmation, he could only sigh. But then, he looked up and saw his usual goddess, Mary Jane, walking towards him with a smile.
Looking at his goddess's beautiful face, Peter's heart inevitably began to race. He started to feel like today was his lucky day.
But then he heard Mary Jane look at him with concern. "Peter, do you know where Bai Ye went? We couldn't get through to him on the phone yesterday. Can you reach him?"
Peter's hopeful expression immediately fell, and in Mary Jane's disappointed gaze, he shook his head dejectedly, indicating that he didn't know.
At noon, in the gymnasium, Bai Ye sat cross-legged on the floor, having once again pushed his body to its limits with the new training equipment.
As his hands formed a seal, a continuous stream of purple energy surged from his face, swirling above Bai Ye's head like clouds.
During cultivation, allowing the purple energy to condense into clouds and swirl above his head—this kind of momentum during cultivation was something that no previous Purple Cloud Divine Skill practitioner had ever achieved.
Behind him, Smith, sweating profusely, continuously swung the steel rod in his hand, hitting Bai Ye's back, but he couldn't even budge him an inch.
Half an hour later, after Bai Ye raised his hands in a five-pointed skyward pose, he slowly retracted his cultivation, feeling the extra wisp of Internal Force within him, and was satisfied.
Purple Cloud Divine Skill. For mediocre talents, it takes half a day of meditation to generate a single wisp of Purple Cloud True Qi. Even for peerless geniuses, it still takes fifteen minutes to produce a single wisp.
According to the description from Gentleman Sword in the group, the standard for judging Internal Force in the martial world is based on the quantity of True Qi cultivated by mediocre talents.
A single wisp of True Qi is considered the equivalent of a normal person's one day of cultivation. Ten wisps make a strand. Possessing thirty-six strands in one's body is equivalent to one year of Internal Force. Three hundred and sixty strands is ten years of Internal Force, and three thousand six hundred strands is considered a hundred years of True Qi.
And Bai Ye, whose physique attribute had reached 1.8, could generate a wisp of Purple Cloud True Qi every three minutes. This was more than ten times faster than his initial rate. He only needed to cultivate for sixteen hours to possess the equivalent of a normal person's one year of Internal Force.
A genius cultivating for one day could equal a normal person's one year of cultivation. Perhaps this is the origin of the idiom "a day feels like a year."
After finishing his cultivation, Bai Ye turned to Smith, who was already sitting to the side, panting from exhaustion, and said, "Your stamina is seriously affecting the progress of my training."
"Hey, Bai, that's a bit much. As an ordinary person, I'm pretty good if I can give it my all for two or three minutes. Not everyone's like you," Smith complained.
"I know. I'm not criticizing you. I'm just thinking of a way to improve your physique," Bai Ye pondered.
"You could hire a few more people to hit you," Smith suggested, but Bai Ye immediately dismissed it. "With my current rate of progress, I can't trust anyone else. They might report me at any time. Only you can help me with this training."
Bai Ye thought to himself, 'I have too many secrets. It's not suitable to interact with others too much while practicing. Besides, Smith's personality is easy to handle, and I know where he lives. Even if he wants to reveal anything, he'll have to consider my retribution. The others aren't as safe.'
Hearing Bai Ye's trust, Smith, unaware of his inner thoughts, couldn't help but feel moved.
Bai Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I'll teach you the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, the same one that caused the purple clouds on my face during meditation."
"Chinese Kung Fu?" Smith's eyes widened. "Bai, you're going to teach me?"
"More or less," Bai Ye replied. He planned to write down the Purple Cloud Divine Skill tonight and give it to Smith to practice.
He wasn't being so nice just to have Smith help him improve his physique.
After all, with Smith's aptitude, understanding the Purple Cloud Divine Skill within ten years would be considered good. It was mainly for the advertisement for the deal with the club owner a month from now.
Yes, the so-called hundred-billion transaction Bai Ye mentioned yesterday was the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.
The reason they set the meeting a month from now was that Bai Ye wasn't confident in his abilities. He planned to train for a month to see how it went.
If he was still weak after a month, he would simply postpone the meeting. He'd wait until he was strong enough to make the trade. After all, he held the upper hand.
"Right, it's almost noon. You should head back first," Bai Ye said, glancing at the time. "You looked tired this morning. Get some rest and come back after three."
"Thank you, Boss," Smith said gratefully. After hearing that Bai Ye could replicate his skills and planned to teach him, he'd almost immediately wanted to become Bai Ye's disciple.
Watching Smith leave the Club, Bai Ye retrieved a glass jar from a hidden spot. Inside, it contained sulfuric acid with a purity of 98.3%.
